Rockstar has announced that on July 12 it will be releasing an update for GTA Online that allows for Trackmania-style chaos.

Cunning Stunts, which is a spoonerism of [REDACTED - TOO DIRTY], sees giant, toy-like racetracks tower over the city of Los Santos. Players will be able to take part in custom tracks designed for the update's variety of vehicles, including super cars, sports cars and motorbikes.

It looks like utter madness of the best kind, and reminds us of the roadkiller classic Carmageddon, albeit without the deliberate mass homicide of pedestrians.

Murder or no murder, Cunning Stunts looks set to feature a good deal of carnage. Enormous jumps send cars spinning through the air only to land in explosive heaps, and some of the tunnels even feature spinning blades that carve incoming competitors.

Rockstar has declined to provide any more details until the update lands next Tuesday. More information about the tracks, cars and over-the-top kersplats will be available then.

GTA Online is the multiplayer mode of GTA 5. Whilst the online components have been available on PS3 since 2013, they only made it to PC last year, with Rockstar showing continued support for the project.

Unless you're on Xbox 360 or PS3, because the older consoles no longer get the latest GTA Online updates.
